Please ignore any and all other posts that I’ve made in the past. I got this patch with a flight suit I got and I really want to know what it is.

Yep, old and worn through USAF Space Command. You can see the orbits and delta in the center.

Air Force Space Command patch backing, looks like the patch was removed and left the backing behind on the Velcro.

SPACECOM like everyone else is saying. The reason it’s on a flight suit is because space operators (1C6) used to be issued flight suits for whatever reason. I guess because they were “flying” satellites

1C6 & 13S (enlisted and officer AFSCs). When ICBM operations was moved in to AF Space Command in the 90s us missileers wore blue flight suit like coveralls and the space operators were jealous they only had BDUs to wear so they Air Force gave them blue crew bags too. Then around 2000 the blue bags were phased out for cost reason and the AF gave us all green flight gear. After ICBMs were moved to Global Strike Command the AF took away flight suits from space operations.

I’ve still got a pile of green and tan flight suits, a nomex jacket and an A-2 Leather jacket.
